Why it’s important
- 80% of Gilbert youth who used marijuana and Rx drugs started before they could legally drive.
- Marijuana oil extract for vape pens and food products (edibles) contain approximately 60% THC levels than in 1970.
- The #1 cause of accidental death in the United States is opioid overdose.
Help us put an end to it.
*This is a USATF Sanctioned event.
